I'm not sure where I should have posted this, im a noob with this kind of thing. I would greatly appreciate any help, suggestions, ideas or being pointed in the right direction!
I was given a Sanyo DWM-3500, an older 5.1 surround sound system with a powered sub and a main unit. (I know its not good, but its better than what I have and right now I cant spend money.) I would like to connect my computer to it. The problem is that I am missing the main unit which the sub connects to via a DIN-9pin. Im not sure if its proprietary or if it follows a template/standard, but I want to connect it to 3x TRS 3.5 mm outputs from my computer. How can I determine what each of the pins in the DIN-9 are for, and then how can use that information to figure out how to convert the the 6 channels being output from my computer and what the other 3 are for (just guessing thats how it will work). My computer's output: ![]() A diagram of the sound system with a few notes: ![]() Specs: Powered Subwoofer (ASX-3500) Continuous minimum sine wave RMS power output into 6 ohms at 70 Hz with no more than 10 % total harmonic distortion (with the other amplifiers off) ................. 75 Watts Satellite Speakers (Front Left & Right, Center, Surround Left & Right) Continuous minimum sine wave RMS power output per channel into 8 ohms at 1 kHz with no more than 10 % total harmonic distortion (with the other amplifiers off) .................................................. .................................25 Watts AUDIO INPUT (6-CHANNEL): DIN 9-pin SPEAKERS (Output): FRONT (L/R): 8 Ω CENTER: 8 Ω SURROUND (L/R): 8 Ω Power requirements: AC 120V, 60 Hz Power consumption: 150 Watts Unit used: 6.5" (16 cm) diameter, Cone type Satellite Speaker Front left, Front right, Center, Surround left, and Surround right speakers (SX-TS3000S, magnetic shield) Unit used: 3.1" (8 cm) diameter, Cone type, Full range Maximum music power handling capacity: 50 Watts Nominal impedance: 8 Ω I dont want to replace the main unit, I want to bypass it. Sanyo customer support is HORRIBLE too . I would greatly appreciate any / all help! Im pretty handy and I follow directions well too. |

Open the sub and follow the conductors. Post pics here eventually.

Solder on the back of the board six pairs of wires (one signal+ground for each channel) to six RCA female jacks (three pairs). Drill holes for the jacks in the back of the case. One pair will be: Front Left - Front Right, the second S/L - S/R, the third Sub - Center. The 9 pin connector remains disconnected.
The two dots that you left unmarked are the "Mute/Stand By" - probably if you short them you will mute the amp. Or if you don't plan to use the 9 pin DIN connector ever, just cut the small white connectors and solder them on the female RCA. From your computer you have the standard 3.5mm stereo jack- red/white RCA cable - three of them. The "surround back" channels (jack) will not be used.

Thank you so much! I had thought of that, but I had no idea if that would work or if it would mess something up. I plan on never using the DIN connector again, so I will solder the wires directly to the RCA ports. I will look up a tutorial on how to do that since im not familiar with it, ive always been a software guy :P If you happen to know of one lemme know! Once again, thank you!
